Malakoplakia is a rare inflammatory condition that can affect many organ systems, including genitourinary tract, it is associated with impaired immune function. It is characterized by distinctive Michaelis-Gutmann bodies. Very rare cases have been reported to present as a locally advanced renal mass.

Renal malakoplakia is reported in an 11 year old girl with myelomeningocele and associated neuropathic bladder. She is the first reported child to have survived bilateral renal malakoplakia with full recovery of renal function after medical management.

Malakoplakia is a uncommon chronic granulomatous condition of a benign nature preferentially occurring in the genitourinary tract. Testes are affected in 12% of cases, and the first case of testicular malakoplakia was reported in 1958. Forty cases have been reported worldwide since that date. We report a new case of testicular and epididymal malakoplakia in a 68-year-old male patient diagnosed ...

There are many theories that explain this reaction but it seems to be the answer to an infectious agent in a patient with immunologic deficiency. Microscopically, malakoplakia is characterized by the presence of foamy histiocytes ...
